Casio Watches – The Ultimate Buyers Guide

Ask anyone, anywhere in the world about their first digital watch and I bet they’ll fondly remember getting their first Casio. Casio has been a household name since they first launched the “Casiotron” in 1974. That ground-breaking watch cleverly displayed the time digitally and was the first watch to have a calendar that automatically adjusted for longer and shorter months. It wasn’t long before the name Casio became synonymous with technologically advanced and stylish timepieces. In this Casio watches buyer guide, we’ll look at some of the more popular Casio watches and explore digital and analogue Casio watches as well as the very cool vintage-look Casio watches.

And Casio has never stopped innovating, now proudly making watches designed to help surfers map tides, like this G-Shock Tide digital watch, or the Casio Lap Memory digital watch that allows its wearer to record their lap times. Casio watches have even been to the absolute frontier of human endeavour, with astronauts choosing to wear the Casio G-Shock on their space missions!

So, if you're looking to invest in a reliable and stylish timepiece, you're in the right place! This ultimate buyer's guide to Casio watches will explore various types of Casio watches and help you find the perfect one for your collection.
